On form and the best horse in this claimer Sedgewick should take all the beating leaving Supids Glory and Atacama Sunrise playing it out for minor cash. Looking for a four-timer here and his fifth win in six starts the pick also looks well-in at the weights based on official ratings. Since missing the whole of 2009 he's looked a differnt racer and he still looks on the up. Cupids Glory did take a course and distance handicap off a mark of 72 back in feburary but on the whole has struggled off that sort of rating. He is respected now back in this grade but he might just find the selection too good. Atacama Sunrise has been consistent in both this sphere and in handicaps but looks to have a bit to do at the weights wwhile Monaco Dream can also challenge on these terms dropped into this grade for the first time, however, with only one fly in the ointment as far as we can see Sedgewick gets the vote.
